I'm very curious what these knowledgeable users say.

Rule 1 of the internet is "check the link before you click" and these man in the middle forwarding systems make that impossible.

I have a different association with "enshittification" but I definitely don't support this change because it's a security problem, you're totally dependent on their moderation to keep you from clicking sketchy links.

I read that comment, but I know for a fact that's not the only way to log clicks.

It's not for bsky to log clicks...????? They can already do that without doing this bounce link because you're using their app??????? Like folks are we really doing this?

It's for external websites to know that the click came from bsky. (E.g. if you click the link from the bsky app, without this trick it would like you just typed the URL in, since apps don't provide a referral header)

"check the link before you click" and these man in the middle forwarding systems make that impossible.

generally not true… the link href (the thing the browser shows to the user) would be the original link… bsky hijacks the link with an onclick (or similar) handler so you can see where you’ll be taken before clicking
